We have collated the evaluation forms returned by delegates who were largely community pharmacists attending for continuing professional development. A high degree of approval was expressed across all venues for the choice and quality of the presentations, and the calibre of the presenters. Delegates expressed their liking of the use of local specialists who were considered to be both informative and interesting. Although the Awards presentations, made for a longer, busier day in Auckland, it was a wonderful opportunity to focus on those who have excelled in the profession in front of an appreciative audience of their peers. We have good ideas to look at for the next Symposia Series - thanks to all who returned the evaluation froms for their feedback. The presentations from all three venues are now on the members' page of the website. PHOTOS Click here to view photos taken at the Auckland Symposium.
